I really loved this podcast and the group... I'm not sure I'll be tuning in to a new group and new focus. I was also very irritated that they have done nothing to let their listeners know about this - making it feel like they have zero interest or concern for any of us who have been listening every week for years. I thought something had gone wrong with my app or my iTunes. Really very rude of the DIS Unplugged Team - who could still chime in and give a response here but have still chosen not to do so.
I loved all the other SoCal stuff. Disneyland is a much smaller park than WDW (I know same number of rides, but I mean not nearly as many resorts and activities and character meals and such), and it has a ton of local visitors too. We want to know about all the area stuff that we can combine with our Disneyland trips. The podcast is naturally very different from the WDW one (which I rarely listen to, even when I have an upcoming WDW trip planned- I do not enjoy their weekly podcasts like I do the Disneyland team) because they are very, very different parks and different ways of planning vacations. Who comes to Anaheim from say, the East Coast, and does nothing else in SoCal??? Hardly anyone. This podcast allowed you to plan your whole trip.
Overall, I'm super bummed.
Thanks for saying what I wanted to say but I was wasting time trying to be eloquent.
It's ridiculous the only announcement was on a random Daily Fix. The chance of seeing it was next to zero. It hard not to feel like our fan base doesn't matter.
The DIS Unplugged has been my favorite Disneyland podcast, but Mousetalgia is a close second. The four-person panel typically has interesting guests and quirky segments. For example, they interviewed the creator of a Pixar pop-up book, and the discussion intrigued me so much that I ordered the book as soon as the podcast ended.I'll have to wait and see too, I hope they don't fix something that isn't broke too much. In the meantime I've been checking out some other Disneyland podcasts and I have found a couple that are decent, so at the least this forced me to expand my horizons.
@The Loop which other ones have you found? It's been several weeks without content and I am trying to help a friend plan a trip for March and I feel completely out of the loop.
See what I did?

Did Pete not say something on the first show of the year that the Disneyland show was on hiatus?
And they even commented on the youtube video of last week's episode when someone asked about it.
FYI - Pete just addressed this at the beginning of today's DISUnplugged show:
The Disneyland Podcast IS coming back! Not set date but *soon*
The show IS going to VIDEO!
Tom is busy with other things that need to be taking care of first so that is why the hiatus has been a little longer
My guess is it will be in the style of using Skype or Google Hangout to broadcast to YouTube with a HD webcam. A few other podcasts I watch use this style.I haven't watched today's show yet ... are they building a studio at Tom's house and making everyone travel to Fresno for the show? (Also, is this being done in response to that time that Tony joined the show from Tom's driveway?)

Hi guys,
Thank you for all of your comments. I'm not sure about the other podcasters, but I have been reading them and appreciate the input.
In response to the team being rude comment, I can only speak for myself, but I think that it was announced on the Daily Fix and maybe on the main show that the Disneyland Edition would be on hiatus. Knowing the team that manages all of the podcasts, I know their commitment is to put the best out there. While they work on re-imagining the Disneyland show it's been stated a few times on the DIS Unplugged Disneyland Edition Facebook page that the show is on hiatus while it's been restructured. I don't know what else the Disneyland team could have stated. We do not know what changes are going to be made, and that's okay.
When the decisions are made and the re-imagined show put in place I'm sure everyone will be notified on the main show, the DIS Unplugged Disneyland Edition Facebook page, and maybe the Daily Fix.
Thanks, again.

The daily fix is a 5-6 minute video that the Dis team puts out every weekday hilighting the big news story of the day and a few other topics. They are also released as audio podcasts on its own feed.And for those of us who listen to the show that was actually pulled, but not any of the other shows? I don't know what first show you mean (the Daily Fix thing hat Mary Jo mentioned???), but I don't listen to that if it's not the Disneyland edition. And I don't watch the videos- I only listen to the podcast.
There was a right way to do this, but they didn't choose it. Totally their prerogative as the creators, of course, but it was very frustrating.
